That’s not surprising. Don’t see how it’s controversial since he didn’t die on camera. I imagine they’ll just edit it out considering there was only a small section devoted to owen. Maybe it’ll be edited to a bit of a livelier show…no pun intended.

I remember watching that live and wondering what was going on as they came back from a backstage interview and then there was only one announcer at the booth and The King I think it was was checking on what was going on. Have it recorded on VHS.

This is the best way they can get the PPV out there now that they settled with his wife. If they were to release it as a stand-alone DVD it would be seen as a tasteless way of cashing in the events that happened that night. But by releasing it as a set that contains EVERY PPV doesn’t feel that way at all.

Martha is so anti-wrestling that I’m sure the WWE just edited out every mention of Owen. I don’t remember it well, but I think the world title changed hands that night, so it’s something that should be documented in the history of wrestling.

In any case, nothing special happened that night other than Owen’s death. Editing him out is more of a slap against his legacy, so they should just peace it out in bits for the stuff that people might not know about (again, the world title changing hands).
